Tengi Grouping of Felda Global Ventures Plantations (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (hereafter abbreviated as FGVPM), on 05-08 Oct 2015, to assess the organization’s operations of the mill and its supply bases for compliance against the RSPO Principles and Criteria (Apr 2013), Malaysian National Interpretation (MYNI 2014) and the RSPO Supply Chain Certification Standard (Nov 2014) for Palm Oil Mill. The plantation management unit (PMU) or management unit is equivalent to a certification unit as defined in the RSPO Certification Systems Document. Each PMU consists of one mill and its supply bases which are made up of estates owned and/or managed by FGVPM. 1.2 Location (address, GPS and map) of palm oil mill and estates KKS Sg.
